Elliott Smith — Burned Out Still Glowing

Burned out, still glowing But I’m not worth knowing Some sickened story that follows you Becoming untrue Where bright tomorrows Give you comfort in sorrow Go around taking back mistakes Just to remake them Now you wanna show me how You hate the sight of me, oh, why? You know I’m not your lover now And I will never be, that’s why Now you wanna show me how You hate the sight of me, oh, why? You know I’m not your lover now And I will never be When I hear your footsteps My lips slip, my feet trip Washed out small talk, that’s all I can do To interact with you ‘Cause no word of kindness Puts the whole thing behind us Do you think the time would stop for me and you? Do you think i could make it? Now you wanna show me how You hate the sight of me, oh, why? You know I’m not your lover now And I will never be, that’s why Why you wanna show me how You hate the sight of me, oh, why? You know I’m not your lover now And I will never be Got rid of me Got rid of me Got rid of me
